The Black Series 6"

Amazon recently restocked The Black Series 6" 32: Obi-Wan Kenobi figure, so out of curiosity I bought one to see if there was any changes to this figure since I originally bought one a while back. Right off the bat I noticed that the cloaks were different colors and the paint app on his inner shirt changed a bit also. If I recall I also do believe the second version is what ended getting packed on The 40th Anniversary cards as well, but will have to dig one up and double check.

You can click on the side by side pop-up comparison picture above (or open the picture in a new window to view the full size picture).

If you want to try for the second version (not guaranteed), Amazon still has them in stock for $17.01, but make sure you buy the one shipped and sold by Amazon and not a 3rd party seller. You will have to click on the link that shows all sellers and scroll down to Amazon to purchase.

Now that The Black Series 6" Wave 13 figures have been hitting my local Texas stores in large numbers, I noticed that the 53: Captain Poe Dameron figure has had some paint changes on his head. The most noticeable is the heavier beard and the slight hair color change on top of his head. At first just thought it was sloppy paint apps, but just to make sure I went through 30+ of these figures and the trend was that early date stamp figures look like the Hasbro prototype photos with the light beard and darker hair on his head, while the later date stamps have heavy beards and lighter brown hair on his head.

Just a reminder for those that collect the Disney's Elite Series Die Cast figures that Captain Phasma will hit your local stores tomorrow (11/28) and is now available at ShopDisney.com. Price is $26.95 each.

It looks like this figure maybe a direct repack of The Force Awakens Phasma, just in new packaging, but will have to confirm when I pick her up this week.

While shopping at Walmart today I noticed a advertisement for their Exclusive Funko POP Star Wars Movie Moments sets. I typically don't cover or collect Funko POPs, but there are a couple new sets that peaked my interests. Unfortunately none of my local Stores have them in stock, but they are expecting them to arrive next week. Prices on these sets are $24.82 each.

Target's Exclusive Star Wars: Return of The Jedi Battle 3-Pack has been making it to local stores this week. Found about 24 of these sets at my local Texas Stores today. Also readers have been sending in reports of finding them from the East to the West Coast.

These are also still available at Target.com as well if you in need of one.

Back on 9/2/17 we reported on finding The Black Series 6" 30: Princess Leia Organa updated Head Variant at Toys R Us and since then I have never found another at retail. After posting the find back in September, people have been emailing me till this day asking where to find this variant.

So if you wanted one of these and want to take a chance, purchase one shipped and sold by Amazon. You will have to click on the "other sellers" list to find "Amazon" as the seller with a current price of $16.50.

As of this post, Amazon has the entire set of The Last Jedi 3.75" Orange Wave 2 figures in stock (ship dates vary). These are shipped and sold by Amazon. If you dont see the $7.99 price on the main product pages, scroll down a bit and click on other "buying options" and Amazon had the $7.99 price listed there as well.

Amazon is now taking preorders for The Black Series 6" Resistance Tech Rose and Supreme Leader Snoke as of this post. These are shipped and sold by Amazon. Price is $19.99 each with a ship date of December 15th.

For those that collect Disney's Exclusive Elite Series Die Cast figures, Rose with BB-8 and C-3PO will be released today, November 21st. My local stores confirmed that they received both figures (12 of each) yesterday and they will be ready to sell today with a retail price of $26.95 each.

These are also available now at ShopDisney.com, just follow the links below.

For those into card and insert variants, just found one on The Last Jedi 3.75-Inch Luke Skywalker (Jedi Exile) figure. This makes the second figure in this wave to have these changes, if you recall last week we posted that The Last Jedi 3.75-Inch Jyn Erso (Jedha) figure had these changes as well.

If your having trouble tracking down the Toys R Us Exclusive Black Series 6" Rey (Jedi Training) on Crait figure at your local stores, ToyRus.com is once again taking preorders. Price is $34.99 but if you order now its 15% off bringing it down to $29.74 with a ship date of 11/22.

We have received lots of reports (also I have visually confirmed at my local stores) that its challenging to find these mint in box at local stores due to employees slashing the tops of the boxes with box cutters when opening the cases, so ordering them online might increase your chances on getting one mint, just a suggestion.

After the outcry from the public, about the "Pay to Win" advantage in BattleFront II, EA has temporally suspended microtransactions in the game.

EA:Thank you to everyone in our community for being the passionate fans that you are. Our goal has always been to create the best possible game for all of you – devoted Star Wars fans and game players alike. We’ve also had an ongoing commitment to constantly listen, tune and evolve the experience as it grows. You’ve seen this with both the major adjustments, and polish, we have made over the past several weeks.

But as we approach the worldwide launch, it's clear that many of you feel there are still challenges in the design. We’ve heard the concerns about potentially giving players unfair advantages. And we’ve heard that this is overshadowing an otherwise great game. This was never our intention. Sorry we didn’t get this right.

We hear you loud and clear, so we’re turning off all in-game purchases. We will now spend more time listening, adjusting, balancing and tuning. This means that the option to purchase crystals in the game is now offline, and all progression will be earned through gameplay. The ability to purchase crystals in-game will become available at a later date, only after we’ve made changes to the game. We’ll share more details as we work through this.

We have created a game that is built on your input, and it will continue to evolve and grow. Star Wars Battlefront II is three times the size of the previous game, bringing to life a brand new Star Wars story, space battles, epic new multiplayer experiences across all three Star Wars eras, with more free content to come. We want you to enjoy it, so please keep your thoughts coming. And we will keep you updated on our progress.
